By the reaction of α-ketoglutaric acid with ammonia, through which of the process glutamic acid is formed
Options
(a) Oxidative amination
(b) Reductive amination
(c) Ammonification
(d) Transamination
Correct Answer:
Reductive amination
Explanation:
Reductive amination is the method of amino-acid synthesis in plants. In this method, α-keto glutaric acid reacts with ammonia (NH₃) and forms the amino acid called glutamic acid. The enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase enhances the reaction.
